Abstract
The book Planos de pormenor: leituras críticas sobre a experiência da cidade, whose title plays with the semantics of a fundamental mechanism of planning and normative design of the territory, aims to bring into the reflection on cities the critical perspective, equally rigorous and indispensable, of a plan of intersection between philosophical concepts and the arts. In this sense, it is a «guide» that aims to unsettle the urban steps that seem too secure. Its three parts – reread and start again, walk and transgress, experiment and imagine – bring together different, though complementary, attitudes or possible operations before a theoretical object that challenges, from the outset, its status as object. In fact, the city is not an object that can be observed from above, in a distanced way; it is rather a complex milieu, an environment full of elements and mutual relations, which requires not only a careful and detailed observation, but also to be experienced and traversed.
